Jaconé Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s on the menu for Jaconé.

We’re starting off with a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some real shine coming through. The first few days are rideable but nothing to write home about. Saturday the 18th kicks off with a clean 5ft ENE swell, period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s a bit soft and a bit crumbly, but the light cross-off wind keeps it tidy. The combined energy is moderate (379). It’s a decent start for getting a wet suit on.

Sunday the 19th morning is the pick of the early run. We’ve got a clean 5ft east swell, period pushing up to 8 seconds, with a light offshore wind from the NE. That’s going to be the best of the weekend. Water temp is sitting right on 72°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The middle of the week sees a bit of a lull. Monday and Tuesday mornings are small and weak, with energy dropping into the double digits. Tuesday afternoon picks up again to 5ft at 8 seconds from the ENE, with a gentle breeze, but the consistency is flatter.

Things get a bit ugly on Thursday the 23rd. Strong cross-on winds and tiny waves make for a write-off.

Then, we see a solid run of improved conditions. Friday the 24th starts glassy with a light rain, but the swell is small and weak.

The real standout of the whole forecast lands on Monday the 27th. The morning session is calling for a clean 6ft swell from the SE, 8-second period, and light cross-off wind. The energy is pumping at a solid 524 (moderate to strong). That’s going to be a clean, punchy day. The standout is the Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. This is the biggest swell of the window: 8ft from the ESE, with a long period of 11 seconds. That’s a groundswell, with serious energy (1381). This is a big, powerful swell. It’s going to be too much for beginners, and the point break setup will love the long period. The wind is a clean cross-off, so expect some excellent, lined-up waves. This is the one to point your board at.

The following week has a couple of interesting options. Saturday the 1st of August brings a glassy morning with a 2ft swell from the south, but check the period – 14 seconds. That’s long-period energy, and the combined energy is 508. It’s a small-wave groundswell, but glassy conditions make it very appealing. Sunday the 2nd has a clean 3ft south swell, 12-second period, with offshore winds.

So, overall, we’ve got a solid run ahead. The early window is average, but the 27th through the 28th is where the magic is. The 28th is the big one, but it’s for experienced surfers only. The first week of August looks promising, but that’s a longer-range call, so keep an eye on it.

Stay stoked, catch you in the water.
